barack obama will be preparing for debates in nevada, where cbs expects 65% of vote voters to vote early. his presence in the state of nevada stirs up activities for democrats who then will try to lock up their voters early. if a campaign can get lots of voters to vote early, then the campaign can spend its time and resources in other battleground states with other voters. >> pelley: these early votes aren't counted until election day. i wonder how do the campaigns know how people are voting early? >> the secretary of state in most of the early voting states reports daily the names of those who voted -- not how they voted, just that they did. what the campaigns then do is match that against the listes of voters they've identified over the years. so if mrs. jones has asked for an early ballot but isn't on that daily report, the campaign will contact her. this is why ground game matters. they often know what mrs. jones cares about, and that's what they'll talk about when they call her to push her to vote. operatives from both parties joke that with voters will the best way to stop the call

in boca raton, florida, for the third and final debate between president barack obama and former governor mitt romney. when they leave the stage tonight after 90 minutes together, these two men are not expected to see one another again until after the election two weeks from now. it is safe to say neither campaign in either its wildest dreams nor worst fears expected to be in a dead heat with 15 days to go. but that's what our national poll shows. as of tonight, our nbc news national polling has it this way. 47% obama, 47% romney. tonight's topic is foreign affairs. our moderator, bob schieffer of cbs news. last time these two men debated, it was instantly labeled the most contentious event of its kind in the modern political era. a lot of it had to do with body lang age as they circled each other. tonight they'll be seated and thankfully separated by the moderator, all of this happening in a critical battleground state of florida. so without further delay, we'll go now to the moderator, bob schieffer, who will be leading us through tonight's debate. >> good evening from the campus of lyn

that's to me why that first debate was so devastating for president obama, because it underscored people's worst views of what the president could be, kind of listless, lacking fight, lacking passion. i remember the 1992 campaign. that was kind of the book on george h.w. bush, he just didn't have fire for the job beyond, i ought to be re-elected. you have to have a message beyond i'm entitled to be re-elected. >> the obama people made an interesting calculation, which is we have problems with the economy so we'll make our campaign about mitt romney. and it may work politically. that's the campaign that the republicans have done as well very successfully, but if you win, you also lose, because you don't have an agenda. romney has that challenge too. but the president decided to make this a slaughter campaign. >> i disagree. i think fdr made four terms of re-election. because people remember that fear when our country was falling in freefall in jobs, foreclosures, financial industry, the auto industry. here is a president in my lifetime never seen inherited a worst set of problems that not o
